In a deal brokered by Andrew
Rosener at MediaOptions.com,
Prince.com changed hands for $235,000 to ascend to
the throne on our latest weekly Top 20 Domain Sales Chart.

It was a big week for Rosener who also
teamed up with Andy Kelly at UpMarketURLs.com
to broker the sale of #4 Italy.net at $52,000. That is
the fifth largest non .com gTLD sale reported so far this
year. Like
Rosener, Kelly also had a Top 20 solo sale, moving #13 Amsterdam.tv
for $13,500.

YummyNames
nailed down the #2 spot on the Big Board with MyGarage.com at
$85,000 and Sedo
took bronze with the week's biggest ccTLD sale, #3 Devisen.de
at €55,930 ($70,472). As they usually do, Sedo went on to
take the most chart entries, sweeping 14 of the 21 positions (the
extra spot resulted a tie for the final spot).

By
Ron Jackson

Sedo's haul included eight of the nine ccTLD
domains that earned places on the all extension leader board
(just one short of the 10 positions claimed by .coms). Three of
those, including #5 Magazyny.pl (country code for Poland)
and #9 Secret.de (German ccTLD), reached the top 10.
Magazyny.pl produced $41,580 and Secret.de revealed $20,160.

A second non .com gTLD also made
the elite list as #19 (tie) MesotheliomaLawsuit.org sold for $10,000
at Sedo.

The AfternicDLS
hit the Daily Double tihs week with #6 Kudo.com at $25,200
and #14 OffShoreServices.com at $13,000. Moniker
also earned chart honors with #12 Yaodian.com at $14,750.

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the
week ending Sunday, August 22:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

Sedo led the four-figure .com supporting
cast with Opedia.com at $9,500 and also banked $9,000
each for Renessa.com and Saray.com. BrazilianFood.com
cooked up $6,500, Torrentino.com tacked on $6,313
and two others; Alcina.com and VitaminAd.com attracted
$6,300 apiece. TrueBalance.com added $6,000 to
the till.

Sedo had 41 more .com sales ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 that are

Country Codes

The country codes turned in yet another
impressive week with nine sales of $10,000 or more - in some
cases way more - like #1 Devisen.de at $70,472
and #2 Magazyny.pl at $41,580. Sedo sold both of those
domains and swept 17 of the 20 positions on our new Country Code
Top 20 Sales Chart. Only UpMarketURLs.com (with #5 Amsterdam.tv
at $13,500), BliXem
Internet (with #11 RSC.nl at $6,615) and Drop.com.au
(with #20 Webmaster.com.au at $4,166) were able to
break Sedo's near monopoly on the elite list.

The five-figure sales all earned spots on the all
extension leader board you saw at the top of this report, so the
highest country code sale you haven't seen yet is #10 Booking.kr
(Korean ccTLD) at $6,700.

As is usually the case, Germany's
.de had the most chart entries, taking nine places this time
around the track. In a real oddity, .de was also the only extension
to have more than one chart entry. The remaining 11 places went to
11 different extensions!

Here is how all of the
country code leaders stacked
up for the week ending August 22:

There were dozens of additional four
figure sales off the ccTLD chart. Sedo had the highest of those
with Wiggle.es ($4,095), ScienceDaily.nl ($3,980)
and three others; Chrono24.cn, Mer-Morte.fr and Infos-Deutschland.de
at $3,780 each.

WTA.cn went for $3,500 while
Gyrocopter.ch and ClubPoker.us raked in $3,150 apiece.

If there are country code extensions in our report
that you are not familiar with, you can look up the nation each
extension goes with here.

For the second week in a row the.non .com gTLDs
produced a sale that ranks among the year's five biggest in this
category. Last week it was Lottery.net at $220,000
(the year's 2nd highest GC sale). This week it was Italy.net
at $52,000, a name that now ranks as the 5th biggest non .com
gTLD sale year to date.
Only one other GC domain reached five figures this week - MesotheliomaLawsuit.org
at $10,000.

The top two domains qualified for the all extension
Top 20 Chart you saw at the top of this report. The highest non .com
gTLD sale you haven't seen yet is #3 Poker-Gratis.net at $6,299
via Sedo, a venue that piled up 12 of the 20 chart entries.
NameJet was next with five charted domains, led by #7 Corn.net
at $4,200.

The .nets claimed the most chart entries with
11, followed by the .orgs with six. .Mobi, .biz
and .info had one each thanks to #4 TFG.mobi ($5,000),
#11 Andalucia.biz ($3,150) and #16 Ads.info ($2,501).

Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the
week ending August 22:

There were more four-figure GC sales just off the
chart with NameJet posting the highest of those - Supplements.info
at $1,856. WearAHelmet.net went for $1,427, ManchesterHotels.org
booked $1,399 and Famafrique.org fetched $1,200.

The AfternicDLS sold EcoWater.net for $1,530
